The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; 
He leadeth me beside the still waters. 
He reviveth my soul: 

He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's 
sake. 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 
I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; 
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine 
enemies: 

Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my 
life; 

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. 

Psalm XXIII.

not cheat his neighbor, then all goes well. Emerson. 

o 

Then gently scan your brother man, 

Still gentler sister woman; 

Though they may gang a kennin' wrang, 

To step aside is human: 

One point must still be greatly dark, 

The moving Why they do it; 

And just as lamely can ye mark 

How far, perhaps, they rue it. 

Burns.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firm-

^ The highest power may be lost by misrule. Syrus. 

What asks our Father of His children save 

Justice and mercy and humility, 

A reasonable service of good deeds, 

Pure living, tenderness to human needs, 
Reverence, and trust, and prayer for light to see 

The Master's footprints in our daily ways? 

No knotted scourge, nor sacrificial knife, 

But the calm beauty of an ordered life 
Whose every breathing is unworded praise. 

Whittier. 



Self -reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, — 
These three alone lead life to sovereign power.

The word we had not sense to say — 
Who knows how grandly it had rung?

the soul of the observer. Emerson. 

o 

^ The spirit of a person's life is ever shedding some power, 
just as a flower is steadily bestowing fragrance upon the air.

To scorn to be for benefits forborne, 

To scorn to lie, to scorn to do a wrong, 

To scorn to bear an injury in mind, 

To scorn a free-born heart slave-like to bind.

which is his own and to claim nothing that is another's; to

thanks for the time he has had it in his service.

Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting seal

They are slaves who dare not be 

In the right with two or three. Lowell.

A small unkindness is a great offence.
